Yep, I didn't/do know any survivors of Pearl Harbor but knew a survivor of the first wave to hit Omaha Beach.

We had a neighbor named Bud that was a survivor of Pearl. He was the sweetest man. We've never been to HI but learning about it in school, it really made an impression.

Busy day ahead for you!

I'll share my cookie pictures once they're made. Just remember, the key word is "ugly" sweater cookies

I had an uncle who was on one of the ships in pearl, I don't think it was the Arizona but it was one of 8 ships he was on during the war that got sunk. I told him the one thing I would never do with him was take a boat ride.

We have shopping and hopefully building the A-frame for the pigs this weekend, but it should still be a good weekend. Hope you get to relax



Shouldn't be too bad -normal stuff today, shopping and caring for the animals. You have a good weekend as well
I am thinking about my mom today as it's her birthday in heaven it's been 48 years, but for me it never gets easier

Hugs for you on your mom's birthday Sue

I'll make you feel smarter sharron. Mainly I did dog grooming- which meant I got scratched, bitten (a couple times).Had extra vigorous fleas come in that refused to die.
Had to repeat the bath and try again, etc.

Poodle came in without being trimmed(elsewhere) in over a year and not having a brush or comb used anywhere on him.I told woman he had to be shaved down. When she came to pick him up she was hysterical that I was trying to palm off a different dog as him. The dog certainly recognized her. She had her kid with her and he recognized the dog and dog was all over him.

I showed her a small plastic Xmas tree that was lodged in his hair. Also the rubber band that someone put around the dogs neck. Luckily I found it before it dug into his skin.
That alerted her and she asked her kid if he had done that. Then smacked him without his answer.

IF she had bothered to comb/brush the dog between trims she would have found the items herself. Dog was really good and easy to work on. Of course she never came back.
Which was the best part.

That was just one story. Some were much worse. Loved working on the dogs, didn't care for most of the owners. They wanted fancy foo foo coats and then didn't lift a finger to keep them looking that way.

We all go where our talents take us. Enjoying what you do for a living makes it that much better
